You can put the staticText
element without text behind the textField
element. You should set stretchType
property with RelativeToTallestObject value and isPrintWhenDetailOverflows
property with true value.
The sample:
<detail>
<band height="20" splitType="Stretch">
<staticText>
<reportElement stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" x="0" y="0" width="100" height="20" isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="true"/>
<box>
<leftPen lineWidth="1.0"/>
<bottomPen lineWidth="1.0"/>
<rightPen lineWidth="1.0"/>
</box>
<textElement/>
<text><![CDATA[]]></text>
</staticText>
<textField>
<reportElement stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" x="0" y="0" width="100" height="20"/>
<box>
<leftPen lineWidth="1.0"/>
<bottomPen lineWidth="1.0"/>
<rightPen lineWidth="1.0"/>
</box>
<textElement/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{id}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>

The result before adding the second staticText
was (the vertical border at the second page is absent):
